Abstract
Reducing malnutrition is a cornerstone
of poverty reduction. General malnutrition and specific
micronutrient deficiencies contribute to infant, child, and
maternal morbidity; decreased learning capacity; lower
productivity and higher mortality. Because malnutrition is
often due to a combination of inadequate care of women and
children, a comprehensive strategy that cuts across sector
is required. This note summarizes proven effective core
interventions, and suggests ways to choose a set of intervention.
